Network IP issues

I have used zone alarm free version for years and love it, but today i returned to my computer to find it had rebooted from a blue screen crash, which it has been doing a lot lately due to dodgy ram. (which i have yet to send back for replacement)
Zone Alarm popped up saying that a new network had been found, the IP address being "192.168.1.0", and my routers IP gateway being "192.168.1.1"
I have tried rebooting the computer and the router but every time it comes up with the "192.168.1.0" ip for the network. On top of that i found that all my program settings had dissapeared. It seemed zone alarm had completely reset itself.
Im wondering if it could have been an automatic update or something?
Anyway, i uninstalled and reinstalled with the latest version, but its still coming up with the ".1.0" ip for my network, can anyone explain to me why this is?

Re: Network IP issues

yes, its your LAN... its all OK.
you may want to start fresh and clean the ZA databases by reset them:

1.) Hold down the Ctrl and Shift keys together
2.) Right click on the ZA icon near your clock
3.) Choose 'Reset' from the box that comes up
4.) Choose Yes on the Reset Settings dialog box
5.) When prompted, choose OK to restart your system
6.) Follow the on screen configuration prompts after reboot

Re: Network IP issues

You're welcome!
No, not necessary to reinstall.
It happens because with BSOD or forced shutdown or malware infections can impair ZA ability to save conf. or log or access data and cause the databases used during its functioning to become corrupted.
